the size is 13/16 ths of an inch which in new money is 20.63mm , they are slightly smaller than normal diameter uni seats did em for them but you want 13/16ths is the size you want

SE, Race Inc, Murray, strong and a few others all made 13/16 seat posts that will fit a loopy, make sure you have at least 5" inserted into the seat tube as it can cause cracking/snapping issues other wise

Good tip and thankyou once again. I generally like my posts pretty low anyway. I'm not a fan of the 'high' seatpost look. Just personal preference

Don't bother looking for a 13/16 layback post though. Not to be used on a Ripper

yeah, you want a layback with the brace........
